What we are seeing in Minnesota is what authoritarianism looks like in real time. Racism, dehumanization, and state-sanctioned violence are tearing at the foundation of this country.

I'm suing Robert Kramer, the former CEO of health care contractor Emergent BioSolutions, for insider trading.
Kramer illegally profited millions by selling his company shares knowing their AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine had contamination issues.
Now we're holding him accountable.

Many of the January 6 insurrectionists want to cry “woe is me,” but they were literally convicted of crimes — and some are even considered white supremacists. I’m confused as to why we’re still debating conspiracy theories versus facts.

This is a difficult but very worthwhile follow. I get it if you don't want to watch these videos. Truly. I don't think I personally can handle another one. But it is time to pay for this kind of content which simply isn't anywhere else. Going to make my own pledge right now. Please.

Renee Good’s last words were to ICE agent Jonathan Ross: “That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad at you.” Then Ross shot Renee three times in the face. As she was dying, his last words to her were: “Fucking bitch.” And JD Vance thought that exchange exonerated ICE. That says it all.
